In Unmasked, Dr. Isabella Moretto casts light onto a subject many of us would rather not see. Her raw honesty takes us
to a place that is unknown to many, but real, harsh and at times, brutal. As a fellow author, I felt moved and shaken by some of what I read, at the same time wanting to continue reading, and by the end, feeling a great empathy toward her and those who have been on the brink of suicide. It is a vivid and crass look at how life can throw us into a situation where we aren't even sure how we manage to survive. She has brought it to light. A great read!
